Gin Tama, Vol. 9 Paperback – 1 Jan. 2000

Gintama volume 9 contains chapters 68 to 76.It is rated T+ for Older teens due to "suggestive situations"Gintama is set in a world that has samurai, aliens, ninjas, monsters, pirates and anything you can think of really.Gintoki, Kagura, Shinpachi and Sadaharu make up the Yorozuya, a jack-of-all-trades group that help people with any type of problem (for a small fee)This volume continues a story from volume 8 so it's recommended that you have read that one too.Elizabeth is in trouble! Let's get help from the white ninja (Gintoki), the four eyed ninja (Sa-chan), the holstein ninja (Shinpachi) and the double curry ninjas (Katsura and Kagura)Gintoki and Hasegawa try gambling...Sadaharu turns into a monster!Otae battles to keep her job.Gintoki vs Hijikata?!And a game of kick the can against an old man.That's a lot in just one book! None of it feels rushed though.On the cover is Okita lyring down, that is why it is horizontal but the content inside is normal. On the spine and the back is Hijikata with a cigarette! Sorachi-sensei was complaining that he wasn't allowed to have Hijikata smoking on the cover of volume 8 but it seems like having him smoke on the back and on the spine is acceptable. I'm sure he is happy about that :) (unless it's a lollipop with smoke coming out of it, yes, I'm sure that's what it is)
